Thanks for the link.

Have you listened to the whole interview?
I am around 10 mins into the interview, but there's nothing new.

Nice interview. 
At some point they were talking about Yoshiki diving into his drumset. And she asked "So did you damage your drumset?" Yoshiki: "No, I damaged my body."

Nice to hear that he is aware of the fact, that he is a crazy weirdo.

I think the woman didn't understand what Yoshiki meant by diving into the drum set at the beginning. :-)

I find this interview quite refreshing compared to the same questions over and over recently. And sounds like the interviewer did her research!

I like the snips of related music scattered throughout too.

Nice interview

Yet another clip from these days, http://www.mtv.co.uk/x-japan/videos/we-are-x-7-things-you-didnt-know-about-x-japan

What do they mean by collaborating with Muse and Rammstein!?

I quite liked how calm this interview was, not as rushed as most. I didn't like how the interviewer was leading the interview a lot and with that changed it into an audio version of the documentary. We did however learn that Yoshiki's dad was a tap-dancer. Very Important Information

Love how Yoshiki quite literally brushes off the question about the album. "Yeah, hopefully soon, I have a lot of projects going on". That's really a slap in our face. The album went from releasing at the original Wembley show last year to another TBD date.

That's not true. He promised a release definitely before 2011 (!!!).

_{I know you know that. But I wanted to recall it again and show how absurd the whole wait has become.}
